32-year-old Justin Jedlica, from New York City, has so far splashed around $100,000 on 90 cosmetic procedures, in his never-ending quest for that perfect look.

Plastic surgery is pretty common nowadays, but some people really take it to the extreme. Meet Justin Jedlica, whose sculpted physique would have you thinking he’s a gym fanatic. But in reality, his muscles are more plastic than meat, as most over his upper body has been augmented with silicone implants. He’s had pectoral implants, six-pack implants, triceps and biceps implants, all so he could attain the look he desired. It all started with his glutes. He wanted his buttocks to be perkier, tighter, harder, so instead of working out, he decided to get some implants, and after 13 cosmetic sessions, he got what he wanted. But that was only the beginning of his affair with plastic surgery. During the last 10 years, Justin Jedlica has went through 90 different plastic surgeries, transforming himself into a real-life Ken doll.

After he got his chest implants, people started asking him if he only works out his pecs, because he had no arm muscles. So he decided to solve that problem by looking for doctors who did biceps and triceps implants. You’re probably asking yourself “why didn’t he just work out a little?” and here’s Justin’s answer: “that is so not exciting, not glamorous or fabulous”. In an interview for ABC’s 20/20, Jedlica admitted to being addicted to plastic surgery. “I love to metamorphosize myself, and the stranger the surgery the better”, he said, adding that “bucking the norm is so much fun”. And with 90 procedures under his belt, Justin is really pushing the envelope.

Growing up, he was an overachiever and a straight-A student, but he was always obsessed with the size of his nose. For him, it was “astronomically huge”, so as soon as he got the chance, he decided to change it. Five nose jobs later, Justin says his nose is close to his ideal, but not really perfect. He admits that, except for that first nose-job, which was “a need”. the rest have been “wants”, but he loves what he’s allowed himself to become, and he’s not considering stopping his physical transformation anytime soon.

But experts like Dr. Drew Ordin, a Beverly Hills plastic and reconstructive surgeon, disagrees, saying that by turning himself into a living, breathing silicone sculpture, Justin Jedlica is really putting his life at risk.

This is a young man who started out as good looking. He has been getting quite a bit of publicity lately. I can understand that he may have wanted to “perfect” his nose, which was his first surgery, but now he is putting his life in danger. There is such a thing as too much cosmetic surgery. It is very important to consider one’s general health and recovery time. Yes, some people want to look unique, but why risk your life?

This is called Body Dysmorphic Disorder; it is a real mental illness and as soon as I read about him hating his nose when he was younger, it confirmed for me that he has this. In this illness, people with no or extremely minor imperfections are convinced that one of their body parts is extremely ugly – and 100% of outside observers have no idea what they are talking about. There is treatment available through therapy and maybe medications, but left untreated they do often resort to plastic surgery to “fix” their (imaginary) “imperfections.” In his mind, he really truly did think that his nose was ugly. In reality, this was 100% a mental delusion.

There is still hope for him if he will seek competent mental health treatment from a BDD specialist (psychologist or therapist who specializes in the treatment of BDD).

He obviously has a mental sickness. But the truly horrible thing is all the plastic surgeons who prey on this man’s sickness, continuing to operate on him for the money. He’s like a drug addict and the doctors are the dealers.

He didn’t need his nose perfected, or any of that other crap. Now his eyes are crooked, his lips are HUUUUGE, he has huge silicone boobies…. GROSS.

Except for conditions like cleft palate that are actual deformities and cause harm if untreated, this plastic surgery stuff is for the birds. We don’t need it. If you are human, then you are not perfect. So what?

He is NOT from NYC. He is from a tiny town (fewer than 3,000 people) called Fishkill, NY, three counties north of the NYC border. It is 60 miles north of NYC. I couldn’t imagine someone born and raised in NYC doing this to himself. His body image dysmorphia must have something to do with the insecurity of growing up in a small town and then moving to a big city.
